I'm a new Samsung user switching from Pixel 7. And I want to turn off a notification category. 

 
When you long press an individual notification there should be a button that directly takes you to it's notification category and highlights it. Currently, it just takes you to the settings and then you have to guess which category to turn off. 
 
From the several Reddit threads complaining about this issue, this used to work as intended before one ui 5 update.

Are you referring to opening the grouping of that notification (it shows the first, but you want to see the rest)? If so, see if there's a small grey upside down carrot/arrow in the upper right corner. If so, press that and the category will expand. If that's not what you're referring to, then I hope another user can answer.

Nah, I'm referring to a single notification

Yes, on my Galaxy S9 (way before One UI 5), when I used to long press a notification to change its settings, it would bring me right to the notification category page and highlight the category that particular notification was from.

Now, on my Galaxy S21, when I long press on a notification and choose Settings, it drops me at the general, overriding notification settings for that app. I then need to take the extra step by tapping on notification categories and try to guess which category that particular notification was from in order to change its settings.

I'm guessing that this is a suggestion for the Samsung UI Developers, but perhaps it's a suggestion for Google Android in general. Does anyone know what the controlling code is for this particular behavior?

Long story short, when you tap Settings on a particular notification, you should be taken to the specific Category of that notification and not the general app notification settings.

Is this the best place to make a feature suggestion like this, or should we post this somewhere else?
